And Prince invented the "Internet album" which later became the mixtape @EuroNymous

God bless doolittle

After Blueprint 3 we had pop rap radio hits with a big pop chorus for like 5 years

Eminem, B.o.B., Macklemore, Wiz Khalifa - See You Again, Mirror with Bruno Mars and so on

Then it transitioned into rappers singing the hook by themselves but Idk which album did it

Maybe Fetty Wap

Factual

Not saying long albums didn't exist prior

But after Drake dropped Views, the trend of 20 track albums being released by mainstream rap-artists picked up

After seeing Drake's commercial success with the hefty Views tracklist, I think a lot of rap-artists realised that inflating their albums boosted streams

feel like 2013 onwards

that year was like the year which set precedent for music rest of 2010s many break in stars, the old guard started to lose relevance, pop music was changing, trap was starting pick up mainstream traction, streaming was picking up, Beyoncé s/t was cultural reset, royals was also

Nobody mentioned 808s yet yall talking about flower boy and forrest hilla drive?

Lmao I guess yall too young

pretty sure op mentioned 808s already

It started changing gradually with Future then Keef, PND, Rich Homie Quan, etc yes

But 2013 was also the same year Eminem dropped The Monster with Rihanna and later we got See You Again so I wouldn't say that trend was over until 2016

My bad didnt see

MBDTF revolutionized song structures in hiphop

i think it became less prominent by then like the monster and see you again are only ones i can think of personally
